Mod 2 Discussion: Getting to Know Our Students and Why
Module 2 Discussion
Getting to know and understand our students is an absolute must as a teacher. Especially for those learners that may feel ostracized from instruction. Just as any learner who struggles with reading, writing, or discussing; our ELL's are at risk of feeling unsure and unmotivated at completing tasks. Easing the task by being someone a learner can trust, provides them with more opportunity than learning from someone they dislike. Furthermore, ELLs cultural differences can lead to misconceptions amongst classmates further disengaging the learner with classroom procedure. A teacher who cares and nurtures an open format for all learners to engage receive the most out of all types of learners.
